Product Description
The Hammer Stahl 5.5-Inch Santoku Knife pairs a compact blade with the versatility to handle precision work and medium to large prep tasks. Designed for slicing, dicing, and mincing, its deep granton edge helps keep food from sticking while you chop. Santoku translates to “three virtues” or “three uses,” reflecting these three essential cutting tasks.
German-forged X50CrMoV15 high-carbon stainless steel provides a durable cutting edge, while the quad-tang handle exposes steel on all four sides for balance and comfort. A foam-padded gift box with magnetic latches makes this versatile prep knife a thoughtful gift for a cook.
Part of a family-run American kitchenware business based in Clarksville, Tennessee, Hammer Stahl draws on a manufacturing heritage dating to 1874. Donald Henn established New Era in 1981 after purchasing Vollrath’s consumer division. New Era added Hammer Stahl cutlery in 2008, bringing traditional German forging methods together with thoughtfully designed handles.
